                                  BOOK FAIR NEWS

A HUGE THANKYOU to everyone who supported the Book Fair this week.   I wish I had some photos to share but I was just too busy to stop and think of doing such an important thing! (sigh)
For those of you who were lucky enough to meet Geronimo Stilton and even get a selfie with him... I can now reveal that he was actually a she... two of my wonderful librarians, Lulu and Millie, took turns at sweltering in the costume on what must have been our warmest days this Summer! Well done, girls.
You may also have been served at the Fair by another of my librarians, Flynn, who did an excellent job running the desk for me and managing the cash and eftpos.
Accolades also to my husband Lindsay who came in after work and took over from Flynn at the desk, then helped pack up the Fair that night as the truck was coming before 8am on Wednesday!

I am thrilled to announce that we sold over $3500 worth of books. We earned over $1000 worth of books for the School Library!

Congratulations to our two LUCKY DRAW winners, Lachlan from Room 14 and Bethany from Room 4. They have been given $50 vouchers to spend through the Book Club.

Library 2017

Welcome back! We're not having much of a summer but the weather doesn't matter if you have a good book to read!
I read quite a few books over the Summer Holidays . Some Humour, some Biography and a large dose of Murder Mystery! What genres will YOU be reading this year?
Our Library Fiction is divided into genres to make it easier for students to find a book in a genre they enjoy.
No major changes in the Library this year. A new rug has been added (we now have THREE!) to make the Library as comfortable as possible given the limited space.
There are lots of NEW BOOKS being added to the collection on a daily basis. These are displayed at the front of the library by the Issues Desk.

BOOK CLUB is open and brochures were sent home last week. Orders close on THURSDAY 16 Feb.  Remember you can now order ONLINE at

https://mybookclub.scholastic.co.nz/Parent/Login.aspx

SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR will be happening in Week 5 at the same time as the Goal Setting Interviews.  Please come along to ROOM 8 (to left of Hall) and have a look at the books on sale. EFTPOS will be available. When you make a purchase you will be helping the school library to buy more books with the commission we earn.A Book Fair flyer will be sent home in Week 4. Bring this to the Book Fair and go in the lucky draw to win FREE BOOKS!

Please feel free to pop into the library if you would like to see me or just to take a look at the wonderful resources available to your children!
